Oh man, that's what you gleaned from this? Lol. Anyway, we have the best "LEBRON" big/overall player in the game, maybe we can trade Ben for an actual Creator or Ball Handler so we don't need to rely on Tobias to do any creating and actually enhances our best player's game. We can get Tobias back to his final year with the Clippers/first year with Sixers form when we had an actual good creator in Jimmy Butler and Tobi was a .300+ 3Pr player.
The bolded is idealistic.
But then it goes back to the initial predicament with Harris. He's a 'shot creator' that isn't actually reliable at creating shots.
He's a roleplayer and should be viewed as such around here.
Why are we assigning so much value to a Roll and Cut big who continuously insists he's a point guard?
Also, peep Tobias's rank when he wasn't forced to be the primary creator on offense for the Sixers. He's being forced to do more because we don't have a point guard or a creator.
Once we get someone competent at that position, he'll return to his 60 TS%, .30+ 3PAr, and .25+ FTr.
Because he has traits more valuable than anything Tobias' and his poor attempts at shot creation can provide.
Tobias has never been a primary creator - he's been asked to be the secondary creator after Jojo, but not only been underwhelming in terms of getting his own, he's an actual zero in the pick & roll. He can't combine with Joel or make those around him better. He's a pure scorer that in your own ideal world is relegated to spot up duty alongside an actual ballhandler. You're acknowledging that he is a role player without explicitly saying it.
